Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups frozen strawberries
- 1/2 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup coconut milk (or almond milk or regular milk)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Optional Sweetener and Garnishes
- Powdered sugar, to taste (optional)
- Fresh strawberries, for garnish
- Shredded coconut, for garnish
- Mint leaves, for garnish
Instructions
- Freeze Strawberries: Ensure the strawberries you are using are frozen. If you only have fresh strawberries, chop them into pieces and freeze for a few hours until solid.
- Blend Ingredients: In a blender or food processor, combine frozen strawberries, pineapple juice, coconut milk, and lemon juice. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed to ensure even blending.
- Adjust Sweetness: Taste the blend and add powdered sugar if you prefer it sweeter. Blend again briefly to mix in the sugar evenly.
- Adjust Consistency: If the texture is too thick, add a little more coconut milk or pineapple juice and blend to reach your desired creaminess.
- Serve and Garnish: Scoop the strawberry dole whip into bowls, cups, or cones. Garnish with fresh strawberries, shredded coconut, and mint leaves to add freshness and visual appeal.
Notes
- For a vegan version, use coconut milk or almond milk instead of regular milk.
- Adjust the amount of pineapple juice or coconut milk to control the consistency of the dole whip.
- Powdered sugar is optional depending on your sweetness preference and the natural sweetness of the fruit.
- Use fresh garnishes to enhance the tropical flavor and presentation.
